ABOUT
Lynn Salentijn ’s installations place different forms of knowledge-production alongside each other, allowing her to research the multiplicity of the things we know, and more urgently, the things we don’t know. She believes that knowing and learning happen through different mediums and forms and have strong spatial characteristics. By transforming her research into installation she provides herself with a fuller understanding of how the world works, and especially the big holes, leaps and cracks in our attempt to understand it all.
Next to her artistic practice, Salentijn also researches and writes about topics like art, heritage and landscape and their intertwinements, and wonders how the past could be (re)considered through art and exhibition-making. Salentijn is also part of the collective Allard with whom she organizes exhibitions and makes room for young artists.
Naast haar artistieke praktijk onderzoekt en schrijft Lynn Salentijn over onderwerpen als kunst, erfgoed and landschap en alles daar tussen in. Ze vraagt zich af of en hoe het verleden opnieuw bekeken kan worden door middel van kunst en tentoonstelling-maken. Salentijn is daarnaast onderdeel van het collectief Allard, met wie ze tentoonstellingen organiseert en ruimte biedt aan jonge kunstenaars.
